Nowhere to Run (1978) David Janssen

Harry patiently executes a 15-year plan to accumulate enough wealth to start a new life, faking his own suicide, leaving his loveless marriage and former life behind, and strives to do it without really hurting anyone.

Director:

Richard Lang

Writers:

Charles Einstein (novel), Jim Byrnes (written for television by)

Stars:

David Janssen, Allen Garfield, Linda Evans

Nowhere To Run is an excellent TV movie. The story takes place at the time of President Kennedy's assassination, which brings a touch of realism to the movie. The only thing that bothered me about the film, and it's minor, he still has his 1978 haircut in 1963. Excellent cast and great performances. Harry's plan to fake his death adds interest and intrigue to the story. One of David Janssen's best.★★★
